Contributions
to these funds support the designated purpose either immediately or through
growth of a designated investment. Online donations are quick and easy
using our secure credit card transactions. We welcome donations of all sizes
and payment plans – whether it's a one-time gift, a monthly contribution or
part of a matching gifts program.

Note that each fund has two
listings: one for standard investments and one for socially responsible
investments. Please follow the Donate Online link next to your preference.

MLA's socially responsible investments
are held at Calvert Investments. Their approach features two distinct but
integral research frameworks: a rigorous review of financial performance, plus
a thorough assessment of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance)
performance. The seven broad areas assessed are Governance and Ethics;
Workplace; Environment; Product Safety and Impact; International Operations and
Human Rights; Indigenous Peoples' Rights; and Community Relations.
